One of these days when some insane cult predicts the apocalypse and people start making a big deal out of it, I'll start my own cult, get them to commit the mass suicide bombing or some similar kind of epic win on the day in question, and while this is happening I will go around with a video camera taping the oh-my-god-it's-happening reactions of the same idiots who unwittingly caused that whole mess.

I reckon nothing will happen, and nutjob doomsayers will start looking through other references to find out when the most likely time then world is going to end will be.

That, or nuclear holocaust. I guarantee that if anything is going to end the world, it'll be the human race. And in that case, the world won't end, the human race will while the world repairs and starts anew.

Unless we use salted bombs as well. In that case, the world is screwed for several years.

The Tao of Rayne - Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience...if that fails, try something in the dairy variety.

uhh......nothin'..........I'll be 16 by then and I'll be studying in 10th standard...I'll be givin' my preboards.....if they're not stopped by then.... i wish they are....or if they don't, then nevermind....I'll give the boards.......and try to score the best.....or we can't trust the life, maybe, I'll die by then...

I never believe these sort of prophesies. I think we'll most likely see a bunch of people doing really crazy things though. As for me, I'll most likely be really busy working and probably working on my MBA by that point.

Although I'm a tad bit unsure as to where I'll be in the world at said point in time, I'll keep a fair eye open for any signs of amusement at those who actually believe in this "end of the world" nonsense.

All that aside, I am just a tad bit curious as to what those silly people will have to say once December 22nd, 2012 rolls around and the world is still here in all of its ambiguous glory. If they're not all huddled up together like a bunch of frightened animals, which is entirely possible, perhaps they might come to the light of reason and realize that the world does not just suddenly end out of nowhere.

I'll be drinking egg nog or apple cider (or both if I'm lucky!) by a fire, possibly celebrating the solstice. As far as I know, I've got nothing else on my schedule. I guess I could go for a walk and see Christmas lights. I might drink that day (here's hoping!).

Doomsday? Heavens no. Like Eris said, there are quite a number of failed prophecies in history. Some are more ridiculous than, that's for sure. Some I can't believe anyone ever bought in to. Say, do you all remember when we didn't die in 2000? Or 2001 when we realized that we were kind of keeping track of the dates wrong?

Bonus points: While editing this post, the music from "The Doomsday Zone" from Sonic 3 & Knuckles started playing in iTunes.
